    10th Annual Ney Day

    Elisabet Ney’s castle-like art studio perches by Waller Creek, an eccentric slice of pre-1900s Austin. Ney was a groundbreaking sculptor, one so dedicated to her craft that as a child she went on a hunger strike until she was allowed to study art. Her vividly realistic and emotional sculptures filled European castles and halls of government, with many crafted right here in Austin. Ney Day celebrates this feisty inspiration on her own creative wellspring, with food and fun celebrating the fierce independence she inspires in us all.|– Cat McCarrey

      Austin Greek Festival

      Here in the land of tacos and margaritas, we don’t get enough chances to appreciate Greek food and culture. Rectify that at this fest with the theme “Livin’ the Greek Life,” offering live music from the Aegean Pulse, all the way from Greece, along with spirited dance groups of all ages. Frequent tours are available to showcase the gorgeous church and inform visitors about the faith, and a marketplace evokes a real Greek agora. Come hungry for spanakopita, baklava, gyros, dolmades, and more – but don’t forget your card, because the fest has adopted a cashless model this year. – Kat McNevins

      Midsommar Party

      OK, we realize the summer solstice is still a month off, but who wants to wait? Kick off summer with “a celebration of life and love” – and hopefully no Swedish cult weirdness like in Ari Aster’s unsettling follow-up to Hereditary. No no, what we have here is all the pretty floral fun such as maypole dancing, flower crowns, and prize packages on a Midsommar theme. VIP tables get Swedish bites and champagne included with a decorated table for five besties. Dressing on theme is highly encouraged! – Kat McNevins

      World Dracula Night

      The Glass Coffin is a bastion of the creeptastic macabre, but their coffin lid officially closes Aug. 11. Pay your respects and pour out the wine you don’t drink (Dracula reference!) at their last undead gathering, fittingly celebrating the King of Shadows – Count Dracula. Hang out with your fangs out at a bloodsoaked celebration of the greatest monster in history. Wrestle in a pool of blood, gothic groove to howls from horror band the Immortalz, and thank every angel and demon below that the Glass Coffin existed. – Cat McCarrey

      Bike Month

      I’ll admit it: I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein, or Superman. All I wanna do is bicycle! Bike Month ATX promises two-wheeler fun for the whole month of May. Break out the 10-speed, the recumbent, the cruiser, and join your fellow cyclists in the last nice weather days in Austin. There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott

      Blue Genie May Market

      Just think of all the occasions packed into late spring/early summer: graduation ceremonies, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and weddings galore (which naturally also means anniversaries out the wazoo). Don’t be caught empty-handed at gift-giving occasions; head over to Blue Genie and pick up a basketful of the Austintatious artisan goodies the market is known for around the winter holidays, now open weekends for a monthlong return. It’s also open Memorial Day, for any last-minute Memorial Day gifts! – Kat McNevins
